Descripción de la oferta
FOIA Researcher Needed — Bodycam True Crime Channel (Ongoing, 2 Cases/Week) I run a true crime YouTube channel focused on bodycam and interrogation footage, and I'm looking for an experienced FOIA researcher to source cases on an ongoing basis. What I need: You will deliver two (2) fully sourced cases per week. Each case must include enough material to support a 20–40 minute video. In practice, that means: Bodycam, dashcam, and/or interrogation footage already obtained (not "requestable" — obtained) For each video file: exact runtime clearly stated Strong narrative potential: the case needs a story worth telling — an arc, a twist, escalation, an unusual outcome. Not routine traffic stops or generic arrests. If the footage is long but nothing happens, it's not a case. A short case summary (who, what, where, outcome/current status) Supporting documents (police reports, court records, 911 audio) are appreciated but not required — footage and story come first. Case freshness matters: Strong preference for recent cases that haven't already been covered on YouTube. Before pitching a case, do a quick search — if the footage is already uploaded on multiple channels, I'm not interested. Fresh FOIA releases and under-the-radar cases are exactly what I'm looking for. Hard requirements — read before applying: I will not accept pitches like "I can get footage from X case" without specifying the exact runtime of the footage and what actually happens in it. If you don't know what the material looks like, don't pitch it. Footage must be public record and legally obtained through FOIA / public records requests. No leaked or pirated material. Consistency matters more than one-off finds. This is a weekly, long-term collaboration. To apply, send: One example case you could deliver right now, including footage runtime and a 2-3 sentence summary of why it makes a good video Your experience with FOIA / public records requests (which states/agencies you've worked with) Your rate per case or per week Applications that don't include footage runtime and case details will be ignored.
